HMD Global is a smartphone and tablet company that surged from Nokia and now has smartphones and tablets. They outsource the manufacture mainly to China and India, but they are now starting to maufacture its 5G models in Europe: https://www.hmd.com/en_ae/press/hmd-begins-manufacturing-5g-smartphones-in-europe

I I recall well, while Finnish, most of the R&D, and of course the whole manufacturing process, was done in China. That how they got their "Chinese" reputation.

I think it is undeserved, but it is also true that their smartphone got some annoying problems, like a very fragile usb-c port on my now defunct Nokia 8.1.
